With the evolution of video surveillance systems, the requirement of video storage grows rapidly; in addition, safe guards and forensic officers spend a great deal of time observing surveillance videos to find abnormal events. As most of the scene in the surveillance video are redundant and contains no information needs attention, we propose a video condensation method to summarize the abnormal events in the video by rearranging the moving trajectory and sort them by the degree of anomaly. Our goal is to improve the condensation rate to reduce more storage size, and increase the accuracy in abnormal detection. As the trajectory feature is the key to both goals, in this paper, a new method for feature extraction of moving object trajectory is proposed, and we use the SOINN method to accomplish a high accuracy abnormal detection. In the results, our method is able to shirk the video size to 10% storage size of the original video, and achieves 95% accuracy of abnormal event detection, which shows our method is useful and applicable to the surveillance industry.

Objectives: Diabetes leading to the production and circulation of glycated albumin, methylglyoxal, and advanced glycation end products along with the reduction of the activity of glyoxalase-I (GLO-I) contribute to diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, we studied the effect of 1,8 cineole (Cin) on the formation of diverse glycation products and the activity of GLO-I as well as renal histological alterations in the type-2 diabetic rat. Materials and Methods: Type 2 diabetes was induced in rats with a combination of streptozotocin and nicotinamide (55+200 mg/kg). Two groups of rats, normal and diabetic, were treated intragastrically with EUC (200 mg/kg) once daily for 2 months the 2 other similar groups received vehicle only. Fasting blood sugar, insulin, insulin resistance index, lipid profile, the activity of GLO-I, LDL glycation (Glycated albumin, Glycated LDL, Methylglyoxal, and advanced glycation end products) and oxidative stress (Advanced oxidation protein products, malondialdehide, oxidized LDL, and reduced glutathion), inflammatory markers (Tumor necrosis factor-α and Transforming growth factor-1β), creatinine in the serum, and proteinuria in the urine of all rats was determined as well as renal histological alterations were investigated. Results: Cin reduced histopathological alternations in the kidneys of the diabetic rat compared to untreated diabetic rats. Moreover, the treatment decreased different glycation, oxidative stress, and pro-inflammatory markers. The treatment had a beneficial effect on glucose and lipid metabolism as well as the activity of GLO-I (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Cin ameliorated diabetic nephropathy via anti-glycation, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties along with the induction of the activity of glyoxalase-I and the advantageous effect on glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic rats.

The current study concerned with the educational effects of social distancing considering the pandemic of COVID 19, and how societies can adapt and coexist with epidemics and pandemics, and the extent with which new theories and concepts will be created based on global conditions. Moreover, many concepts that have negative implications, may have positive implications, especially in a deadlocked context, as in the case of the contemporary Corona virus crisis. The study also distinguished between social distancing and other social approaches such as social exclusion and social marginalization. The study launched a new term resulting from social distancing, which is the virtual convergence, and how it can deal with social distancing through the virtual convergence. The study ended with a set of future scenarios for post-social distancing, and a set of probabilities expected from these scenarios.

The article discusses the physical processes, the related temperature dependencies of conductivity and the Zeebek coefficient in granular silicon and the influence of alkali metal atoms on them at a temperature of 300 K to 800 K. that the conductivity and Zebeck coefficient do not depend only on temperature, it depends on the crystal structure at the boundary of the two contacting regions, and the development of recombination centres in them with an increase in temperature. In the process of temperature growth, desorption of alkali metal atoms is observed, which leads to structural inhomogeneities of crystal lattices at the border of two contacting regions and at the same time increase in structural heterogeneity of crystal lattices of the desorption layer of alkali metal atoms, lead to electron scattering, which leads to a change in sign.

Dutch colonialism with a colonial pattern indirectly (indirect role) has left the perpetuation of the political civilization devida et impera among indigenous elites in Indonesia. The use of the natives as colonizers had resulted in conflicts and an increasing pattern of competitiveness between priyayi and santri, so that the clash of religious ideology with the new aristocratic model (Dutch priyayi) was inevitable. Freemasonry\'s propaganda was successful in recruiting many indigenous elites and made major contributions to Dutch Colonialism. The results of their upbringing were projected to be able to deal with the rise of santri such as SI (Syarikat Islam), Muhammadiyah and NU which in the 1920s began to aggressively carry out a revival of resistance against the Dutch colonial. Freemasonry succeeded in clashing Javanese culture with Arabic (Islamic) culture to separate the indigenous elite from religious groups that were considered radical in threatening Western colonialism. The objective of Freemasonry which rejects various forms of religious fanaticism and is anti to dogma (religion) has a common interest which results in a mutually beneficial relationship between the practice of colonialism and the role of Freemasonry.

Background The authors aimed to investigate undergraduate nursing students’ employment hope levels and determine the factors affecting employment hope. Method In this study, the descriptive-survey research method was used. The Employment Hope Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used as data collection tools. Results According to their statements, of the students who participated in the study, 60.2% chose nursing by their preference, 82.5% wanted to improve themselves in the profession and, 89.3% worried about finding a job. The “Psychological empowerment” subscale (p = 0.067) significantly positively correlated with the “Goal-oriented pathways” subscale (p = 0000). Conclusion Students should be supported throughout the education period regarding the factors affecting job prospects and should be guided through career counselling on their field of study.

Investigating the optical properties of biological tissues through tissue-like phantoms is an important research field in the applications of lasers in medicine. In this study, after determining the macroscopic optical properties of soft tissue phantoms such as absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, refractive index and attenuation coefficient with the single integrating sphere test apparatus, optical characterization of the phantoms were realized with the help of the Kubelka-Munk Function approach. For this, the microscopic optical parameters such as absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, anisotropy factor, reduced scattering coefficient, and penetration depth were calculated over the determined macroscopic optical properties.
